Old school UFC veteran ends fight quickly and brutally

Patrick Smith is a kickboxer, martial artist and MMA fighter who competed in the first few UFCs. He was one of the most dangerous guys in the early days who not only had a lengthy background in kickboxing but also had an extensive background in traditional martial arts such as karate and taekwondo.

In the following video we see the old school UFC veteran Patrick Smith competing in a karate match and it doesn’t last very long at all, 2 seconds to be exact.

Patrick Smith’s opening move is the side kick but that seems to just be a set up for the wheel kick that comes next and knocks his opponent clear out of the ring! You see in the slow motion replay it connected very clean too and was by no means a grazing shot.

Pat Smith had a short night in the first UFC, losing his first match to legend Ken Shamrock. It was UFC 2 where he really shined though and put on one of the most brutal beat downs ever seen inside the Octagon against ninjutsu practitioner Scott Morris. Smith made it to the finals that night but ultimately lost to Royce Gracie like everybody did back then.

Shevchenko sisters not doing usual training for next figjhts

11/19/2018

The Shevchenko sisters usually mimic each other's opponent's style, but not now with Antonina fighting Ji Yeon Kim at the TUF 28 Finale and Valentina fighting at UFC 238, but Antonina says not this time: “She can’t imitate my opponent because she has to be herself for her fight with Joanna Jedrzejczyk. And I have to be myself for my fight in Las Vegas. There is always pressure of being the first time world champion, or defending it, or fighting in different organizations. Now it’s my first fight in the UFC, in the big leagues of MMA, and there is a kind of pressure and nervousness. But I can control it. I understand what I have to do: train hard and perform well. That’s all that’s important.” H/T MMAjunkie

Champ champ Daniel Cormier turns 40 on March 20, 2019 and plans to retire but UFC president Dana White hopes he fights on: “I don’t know [if Cormier’s last fight will be next year]. We don’t know that either yet. I think Cormier’s got a couple left in him. I hope so. That was what I would like. I would like to see Jones and Cormier fight at heavyweight but right now, Cormier’s team wants him to retire right now. They want him to retire right now. I hope we can get three more fights out of him.” H/T MMA Fighting • Watch
